More than a bike and its shiny chrome exposed to the grit of the asphalt, Harley-Davison is a way of life. From our beginnings in 1987, C & A Harley-Davidson fosters Ohio’s community of two-wheeled pavement-pounders through the bikes we sell and the community we create. As a primarily female owned and operated dealership, we understand that all individuals, regardless of age, gender, or experience level have the right to take life by their own two handlebars.

Currently 20 percent of C&A’s customers are women, compared to Harley-Davidson Motor Company’s national average of 10 percent. The letter A in C & A — now in business for 21 years— stands for Adonna, owner and mother of general manager and part owner Dena. C&A’s female presence further extends into the MotorClothes®, Harley-Davidson® Riding Academy, parts and marketing departments. “I grew up in a family of riders where I was encouraged to ride, but not all women are as fortunate. Our staff and calendar of events reflect our dedication to fostering female riders,” said Dena.

The owners Dena, Adonna, Kerry, and Barry. It seems a family that rides together stays together, as all four children have grown up around motorcycling. More than running a quick errand, the family uses their bikes for long distance trips many of which have been alongside the C & A HOG Chapter. Check the Customer Corner Events Calendar to plan your next outing to C&A.

Dena stands next to her father and part owner Carl. She jokes that, “Mom just needed a few more kids,” to round out the employee roster for C & A. Customers cannot tell who’s who of the family though because everyone walking through the doors inevitably joins the C & A family. With the grand opening of the Harley-Davidson® Riding Academy, we’re happy to not only supplement your H-D lifesyle, but also your safety.
